Conan O’Brien Visits ‘The Jon Stewart Show’ in a 1994 Clip of the Short-Lived Talk Show

The short-lived MTV talk show The Jon Stewart Show aired for only two seasons, but at one point was the second most popular show on MTV behind Beavis and Butt-Head.

Baby-faced Stewart and O’Brien aren’t the only 1990s-esque aspects of this clip. Everything from their outfits—one in plaid and the other in leather—to Stewart’s faux casual pose on the set ooze the 1990s.
